Reese and her teammates went wild as Clark’s Indiana Fever teammate Aliyah Boston made her attempt.

Reese and Clark are All-Stars for the first time. The Fever star said Friday their emergence was a big moment for women’s sports, not just basketball.

SKY'S ANGEL REESE DUNKS ON CRITIC AFTER REMARK ABOUT ATTENDING NBA SUMMER LEAGUE GAME

"I definitely think it’s much more than women’s basketball. I think you look across the board at all women’s sports, and people are really invested in it and show up for it," Clark said. "Obviously, women’s basketball has kind of been at the forefront of all of it. And for good reason, as it should across the board, whether it’s college women’s basketball or the WNBA. The talent level has been really good."

Both players have showcased their talents and made their marks on history. Clark set a WNBA record with 19 assists in a game, while Reese set the record for most consecutive double-doubles in a single season.

"I never would have dreamed that I would have been playing in the All-Star Game as a rookie," Reese said.

Clark and Reese are just the tip of the iceberg in the rookie class.

Los Angeles Sparks forward Rickea Jackson is averaging 11.4 points per game, while Washington Mystics forward Aaliyah Edwards and Sky center Kamilla Cardoso are also playing 20-plus minutes per game and averaging nearly 10 points per game.
